Addictions with consequences

[stebbinsd]

Currently, chem addiction only amounts to a -1 or -2 debuff to a handful of SPECIAL stats. If you're already at a high level, that's hardly a problem.

 

I'd like to see a mod that makes chem addiction much more devastating, providing you with a much more urgent incentive to get cured.

 

Here are a few examples of symptoms you can have for chem withdrawal:

 

- Blurry vision

- Tendency to stagger, even without getting hit.

- Tendancy to drop weapons

- Tendency to walk either to the left or to the right when moving, essentially making you wobbly-legged.

 

With symptoms like these, players will approach chems with caution, make sure they have enough chems to last a while, and the sooner they can get cured, the better. Just like drugs in real life.
